Imagination Technologies has launched Minimorph a connected processor based development system targeted at enabling applications using Imagination's MetaFlow connected processor and Flow cloud technologies.
Minimorph enables engineers to develop connected applications across a range of markets including home automation, security systems, smart energy, healthcare and assisted living, connected/educational toys, industrial monitoring and control, M2M and more.
By providing access to Meta-based hardware and Flow client and portal software frameworks, engineers using Minimorph can now create applications for Cloud connected devices, gain experience with Flow technology, and migrate embedded, industrial and consumer products previously considered 'stand-alone' to take full advantage of Cloud-based connectivity.
Using MetaFlow processors and Flow technologies, client devices integrating processor cores, high speed connectivity (e.g. Wi-Fi) and ultra-low power communications (e.g. for sensors and M2M) are combined with ready-to-use 'Cloud-side' portal technologies and ecosystems using Flow APIs to create portable and upgradeable solutions.
"The rise of Cloud technologies is creating exciting new markets and discontinuities in existing ones as all devices evolve to take advantage of connectivity," says Imagination’s Tony King-Smith.
The Meta HTP221-dp2 Minimorph development system beta programme is starting now, and will be available for sale from November 2011for under $200.
